Say ‘Howdy’ to State Fair Discounts

With a wide variety of discounts available throughout the run of the Fair, there are endless ways to save. In addition to Military Appreciation Day, Opening Day offers a discount opportunity for non-military guests as well. The State Fair of Texas opens September 29th.

Friday, September 29, fairgoers can bring a full 20 oz. bottle of Dasani water, or any 20 oz. Coca-Cola product, for donation to the North Texas Food Bank and get in for only $10.

Every Tuesday of the Fair, guests have the chance to bring an empty Dr. Pepper can and receive $6 admission.

Midway Discounts: Reduced price on Tuesdays. Bring 4 canned food items on any Wednesday of the Fair and receive admission for only $4. All canned donations go to the North Texas Food Bank, which helps feed members of the community. Last year, more than 267,000 pounds of food were donated through this program. Thursdays mean big savings at the Fair, with multiple discounts offered on a weekly basis.

KISS-FM Fridays: Get $5 off general admission tickets any Friday of the Fair by downloading and printing a special coupon, which will be available on the KISS-FM website (1061kissfm.com).

Other State Fair Discounts

Discount coupons are available at McDonald’s locations throughout North Texas on tray liners and inside their meal bags and are redeemable on any day of the Fair.
